Two pairs of concentric circular coils are placed in the same plane. Pair A consists of an inner coil of radius and an outer coil of radius (where ). Pair B consists of an inner coil of radius and an outer coil of radius . A time-varying current with a constant rate of change flows in the outer coils of both pairs. What is the ratio of the induced emf in the inner coil of Pair A to that of Pair B?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The induced emf in the inner coil is given by , where is the mutual inductance between the outer and inner coils.
The magnetic field at the centre due to the outer coil is .
The flux linked with the inner coil is .
Thus, the mutual inductance is .
For Pair A, the mutual inductance is:
For Pair B, the inner radius is and the outer radius is . The mutual inductance is:
Comparing and , we see that .
Since the rate of change of current is the same for both pairs, the ratio of the induced emfs is simply the ratio of their mutual inductances:
.
